The Six-Word Story

A Photography exhibition March 20 –May 7, 2016

Consider the well-known adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. In The Six-Word Story…in a picture we will view photographs in context with their six-word story. You may be familiar with the legend of “The Six-Word Story”…so the story goes, Ernest Hemingway, while lunching with friends, made a bet that he could craft an entire story in six words. After the pot was assembled, Hemingway wrote the following six-word story: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Hemingway won the bet.

We are inviting submissions of photography along with your six-word story which will accompany selected photographs for the exhibition. We welcome you to be creative, whimsical, and introspective which we expect will create great interaction with the viewer. All expressions suitable for general viewing are invited and will be considered. There is no particular theme preferred; please use your imagination!

Work must not be larger than 40” wide including frame. All work must be ready to hang with d-rings and wire (no saw tooth hangers or protruding eye hooks). White or off white matting is preferred. 

Please email up to 3 submissions (300 dpi) to jweaverling@frontporch.net . Please note size of works and include their six-word story.

ARTBUZZ1 SEEKS Monthly Photography for Newsletter

Hello Creative Souls,

Last month I was seeking a colorful photo for the front of the the ARTBUZZ1 and wanted to depict Spring.

I came across, Billie Day and her photography which caught my eye, (you can see why).  She not only loves color but is a vibrant person herself and a wonderful contributor to the arts. This indeed depicts the theme of Spring!

So I thought, hum....... maybe some other artists might like to be part of the ARTBUZZ1 community?

If you are interested, I like monthly themes and would like to collect them for May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.  Keeping this simply, I will always place credits to the artworks received and it goes out to over 1800  artists and organizations.

Simple... just send them to me and if chosen, you will be posted!  I like "color, emotion" and what makes a person smile in a blink of an eye.

Send them to artbuzz1@gmail.com and lets have some fun! 

Cheryl Ehlers, Publisher of ARTBUZZ1

Lumen Shadows and Chroma, Opening Reception MAR 9 at Mission Trails Regional Park Center Gallery

Three Photographers to Exhibit at Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center

“Lumen, Shadows, & Chroma” an exhibition of awe-inspiring fine art photography of nature scapes by award winning artists Eileen Mandell, Dana Parnes, and Dana Levine runs from Sat., March 1 through Wed., Mar. 28th, from 9 am to 5 pm daily, at Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center Art Gallery, One Fr. Junipero Serra Trail, San Diego, CA 92119, with a reception on Sun, March 9th, from 1 - 4 pm.  The exhibition is free and open to the public.

 

The title of the exhibition refers to key concepts crucial to a photographer's vision.  Light, shadow and color portray the subject matter of the exhibition - plants, animals and the sea. Whether in black and white or intense color, high impact or quiet contemplation, all the images in the show communicate a lasting impression on the viewer. 

 

Eileen Mandell, of El Cajon, an East County educator, is well-known for her nature photography and innovative work with an infra-red camera.  She looks for shapes, lines, and patterns to capture detail, express movement, and discover the play of light on the subject.   In this exhibition she will be showing new photographs of horses.

 

Dana Parnes, of Rancho Bernardo, a nationally published photographer, captures breathtaking portraits of nature.  Her work speaks to the heart and expresses her deep passion and artistic vision of the magnificence all around, and within each of us.  In this exhibition she will be premiering exquisite fine-art photographs of the ocean, whales, sunflowers, and more. 

 

Dana Levine, of La Jolla, a retired scientist, has had her work shown nationally. Transforming the world she sees through photography is an exciting, creative adventure for her especially when she encounters tranquil, reflective spaces or people with a  sparkle in their eye.  In this exhibition she will be showing new photographs of plants transformed into symmetrical patterns.  Info contact Dana Levine: danabet@yahoo.com.
